If you don't care that it's made in China by all means go for it.

BTW, I have 2 Condors but my buddy has a HF.
I bought one a few months ago. It works great, glad I got it.

Nothing but Condor for me...and peace of mind. Expensive? It secures your $20,000++ bike. Well worth it.

Bought two of these for my trip to fla this spring, worked as well as a Condor or anything else. Granted the EZ DOCk with the foot release would be a neat this to have, this worked plenty well and safe for my. did fab a metal bracket to lock the flipper thing locked but that was just because i'm a bit ****

Man, I never really gave it that much thought,
short haul, no wheel chock, strap to the handle bars tight enough to loading the suspension,
long haul the same but add a piece of 2x4 screwed to the trailer floor on ether side of the front tire and a strap or two holding the back tire from drifting (if available).

When my brother took the 65 Honda (can't remember if it was a Super hawlk, or a Dream) to Tennessee, we screwed 2 2x4's together in the shape of a cross, a few scraps of plywood to keep the tires on one of the 2x4's and used some rope to lash it upright with the other 2x4, built this in his camper so he could move the whole rig around when he park at night (decking screws kept it anchored on the road), now thats hi-tech!

Can you roll it out yourself or does it take another person?
I had problems with my condor, I had to really pull back to get it over that back bracket that held the tire.

also the ad for HF said it's fits up to 127" tire and my EGS has an 130.
Any problem with your tire fit.

No problem with my stock tire. It does take a bit of muscle to get the bike out; practice makes perfect. My garage floor has that epoxy coating on it making the floor slicker. I added a long board to the chock using the bikes rear wheel & weight to hold the chock from moving along the floor. That was a tip from this forum. In my trailer the chock is bolted down tight and doesn't move. I'll try to post a picture of my setup with the long board in the garage in the next day or two.

old thread, but any one got pics of how they put bikes in an enclosed 24 ft trailer?

got 3 bikes, wanna tote them around this summer.

i have 3 of these chocks,
and a 4th one in a single trailer (wife used to carry all the junk & her bike in the truck)

I love these, we have had everything in that single trailer, it looks like you could trailer with just a strap holding the front wheel forward tight.
